John Fetterman during his recent appearance on Fox News.
Senator John Fetterman has warned that the Democratic grassroots are planning a “small communist takeover” in the state of Maine.
On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s Jesse Watters Primetime, Fetterman was asked about Graham Platner, the candidate for U.S. Senate who is currently on track to win the party’s nomination.
“How big a threat do you think this Communist movement is?” Watters asked.
Fetterman responded:
A lot of these terrible groups like Code Pink and a lot of the other ones that are strongly aligned to the CCP, without a doubt, they’re being financed.
It’s ironic, these kinds of protests are being funded by billionaires against billionaires. I don’t know if they realize the irony in many of those things right now. And, now, there is kind of a small Communist takeover in Maine.
Platner, he’s already announced that he’s an avowed Communist. He’s made that statement, and he put that online. Now, he’s going to be the Democratic nominee.
So there is a [resurgence of] socialism, and that’s become more and more a part of it. And now there’s more, it’s like a marriage of the Palestinian, the anti-ICE, the abolish ICE, and now turning it into like an orgy of socialism here and that’s sad.
Because it’s supposed to be about labor, like unions. I am absolutely a proud pro-union Democrat, but the kinds of mess that are you see showing up in many of them, that is the worst impulses that our party continues, we just [can’t seem to] resist those things.

Despite being an avowed communist, Platner appears to have a tattoo that is widely recognized as a Nazi symbol.
He has since attempted to blame this on his type in the military, which he has denounced as a “hyper-masculine, hyper-violent place.”
“I did four tours in the infantry. We have a crude sense of humor in the infantry. We certainly have a, I would say, narrow view of a lot of topics, and that colored my opinions and my beliefs.”

Should Platner prevail in the primary, he will likely face off against incumbent Republican Senator Susan Collins, who has held the seat since 1997.
